John merely nodded silently. On his part, he had already run a search on this number, but there was something obviously amiss with the name registered on this number.
The account information of the number was registered to an old man full of white hair living in a village. He wasn’t educated and couldn’t even read. There was no way he would believe that a person like this was involved in Sophia’s accident.
Hence, there was only one possibility—the ID used to register this number belonged to another person, or that this number was bought from a different person.
Well, of course, no one would use their real identity to do something so despicable.
John gave the man a hard stare for a long time. Probably due to his lack of rest, the man seemed a little pale and tired. Under such circumstances, it was highly unlikely that he would lie about anything. Standing up, John paced outside and his subordinates looked at him expectantly. To that, John merely waved his hand, gesturing for them to release the man.
The man walked out of the warehouse by himself without the help of anyone. When he brushed past John, he stopped in his tracks and uttered, “It seems like that person has a nickname, Old Leopard. I’m not too sure, but you can check up on it.”
Later, when John returned to Sophia, she was still asleep and appeared unaware of his short disappearance. Feeling a little chilly, he sat on the bed. After a while, he couldn’t hold it anymore and rubbed his hands together before slowly reaching it out to stroke her belly.
It’s so weird that there’s actually a baby in there who will look like me and Sophia. It will gradually grow and arrive into this world to call me daddy when the kid reaches maturity, he thought in awe. Human reproduction is such an amazing and beautiful process!
